god this intro music is terrible

[ILOVETODANCELOL]

Since when is a character whose high-level play relies almost entirely on mindgames better than a character with EXCELLENT footsies, an EXCELELT karagrab and a Super Art that is easy as hell to hit-confirm into ?

@xLimonxLobstaX Makoto's karakusa can tech the other players normal throw, but Makoto's karakusa cannot be teched.

You've probably seen Karakusa tech a regular throw, giving the illusion that the other player teched.

damn what a comeback

[EthanGergen]

@713nd He said *almost*, and he was completely right. For HIGH LEVEL play, it's all mindgames at the end of the day.

Boss looking like.......a boss.

I just find Makoto a lot more satisfying to play. I picked up 3s with Makoto back in '00 and liked her just 'cause I liked her dash. Who cares what chara has the competitive edge, arcade games will never make money in the US so you might as well just have fun with it.

[xLimonxLobstaX]

uhhhhh you can tech makoto's grab if you time it right.

[713nd]

@ILOVETODANCELOL you're acting as if makoto is a terrible character with no good pokes, no damage potential and such...

[strafer]

@apextwin kiya, kiya, kiya, kiya, kiya, ohhh kiyyyyaaaa.

[strafer]

@ILOVETODANCELOL Both are kind of gimmicky characters. Makoto gets 2 grabs and she wins the match. She doesn't even need meter half the time.

I've always known how much of a monster Makoto was :l
